Animale for Men

For me, this fragrance is fascinating from start to finish. Animale for Men has the characteristic of being refreshing and powerful at the same time, and it earns me many compliments when I wear it. It is classified as oriental-spicy, but in my opinion, it is much more of an aromatic-fougère, as it has notes of lavender and oakmoss. On my skin, it has the junction of two worlds: the fruity and the woody. I feel pineapple notes, although it is not listed in its composition. The leather notes of the base are not too exaggerated, while the notes of vetiver and geranium bring a beautiful result. For me, Animale for Men follows the line of Burberry for Men, although they are different in several aspects. I think it should go into any collection, at least once. Finally, it remains to be said that it exudes and lasts very well!

This is a fragrance I love and always will. It brings me back to the old days as teen when life was all about having fun and trying to hook up with girls. This fragrance was something affordable and a real compliment getter. Honestly I was all about Animale and Kenzo because it was different. While all the other guys were taking a bath in Drakkar Noir I had a completely different sent going on. I know this is a love /hate type of scent but for me it will always be part of my collections. It smells good to me, I like the price and bottom line it still gets complements every time I wear it. Sillage: projects moderately for me Longevity: Long lasting on my skin Complements: Just about every time it is worn Again this is my take on what I like and Animale may not be for everyone but for me I still love the stuff.

Just a fresh, flowery and clean scent, on the opening, the citrus of the lemon is very noticeable, followed by the clean fresh floral note of lavender and the geranium. To me, this fragrance smells just like clean clothes and a twist of lemon, it's from '93 but I wouldn't say it's dated at all since it is a pretty youthful scent with a hint of floral. Very nice for spring and, fall and maybe even summer, nice starter signature indeed, for its price it is pretty nice and very easy to wear. As for performance, it has a moderate sillage, a pretty nice longevity for a fresh fragrance and a good value for what it is. It wouldn't be fair to compare it to any of nowadays fragrances, the industry has evolved a lot throughout the years and that's something important to keep in mind when reviewing classics.

I have used this cologne since the early 90’s I can say of all the colognes in my collection this one gets the most compliments, and I have 120+ in my collection and some of the big names such as Versace and Armani. This starts out sweet citrus and dries down to a leather and wood mildly sweet but manly fragrance. On me this is a beast it last all day 12+ hours and the Sillag is very long as well 6+ hours. My wife even gets a little jealous when women out of nowhere come up ask me what I’m wearing. Yes it is dated, but when something smells great does it really matter? But....the good news is this fragrance is really affordable and still available. Try it the people around you will love it!

It is very strange to me that Animale For Men is classified as an oriental spicy; first off, it does not contain any spices whatsoever; secondly, its aroma is completely fruity and flowery with animalic and earthy accords; and thirdly, it doesn't share any similarities with Opium Pour Homme, Jaïpur Homme, and Bvlgari Man in Black, which are actual oriental perfumes due to the number of spices there are in them (they also contain vanilla and/or tonka), as well as the warm aura they provide the user with. In my opinion, this scent should belong to a different olfactory group, and I reckon many other perfume lovers agree with me. Happy sniffing.
